1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together the chicken, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper.

2. In a small saucepan, simmer the onion, wine, bay leaf, cinnamon stick and a pinch of salt until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 15 to 20 minutes. Mix in the honey and butter.

3. Spoon the mixture over the chicken; toss well. Spread the thighs, onion mixture and any juices onto a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the chicken is no longer pink and the onions are meltingly tender and caramelized, about 25 minutes.
